Naruto:

Don't Be Scared

7

Youkai Of Hearts: Hey did you guys know that first of all when I thought about this story it was only suppose to be one page? Yup that's right, I never thought of doing so many chapters but then all these ideas flew into my head and then I just thought "What the hell! Why not a whole story!!" And also another horrifying secret, I never planned to have Orochimaru or Kabuto in this story…

Orochimaru & Kabuto: What!! Why!?

Youkai Of Hearts: Hey you (Points to Orochimaru) you're a washed up clown reject that belongs to a closet and (Points to Kabuto) you're a pansy medic that acts and sounds like a girl!!

Orochimaru: (cries)

Kabuto: You weren't supposed to tell anyone…

Youkai Of Hearts: Well you know how evil I can be, when you're a villain and you have a secret, your not safe telling it to me insert evil laugh here now where was I…Oh yes, Flashback!!

Sasuke: (Smacks YOH with a pipe) No more flashbacks!! I warned you!! And stop abusing the villains; you were arrested for doing that last time remember?

Now on to the story…

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, his vision was blurred and he felt so hot, even with his jacket off. He was gagged, his wrists and ankles tied up, it wasn't like he could move anyways, his body felt like a large stone, plus he was tossed at a corner, all her could see was the stone table that looked very familiar to him and also he could see Orochimaru's back turned from him.

He tried to wiggle his wrists out of the rope, but he couldn't due to his fever, plus his body felt very weak.

"Ah, I see you're finally awake, Naruto…" Naruto slowly looked up to see Kabuto's face, the usual smirk looking down upon him. The medical ninja bended down to Naruto's level, grabbing a couple of strands of Naruto's hair, dragging his head up to him. It really hurt by the violent tug that Kabuto used on him.

"It's seems that drug I used on you is working a lot more than I intended, I knew that you and the others would come down here, but we didn't know how soon…until we followed your recent activity and a little visit to your home…" Naruto's eyes widened a bit.

"Oh that's right, the Fifth Hokage immediately wiped your memory clean of that incident didn't she?"

Baa-chan?

He let go of the blond Shinobi's hair, letting Naruto's head drop down unto the concrete once more, Naruto wondered what Kabuto was talking about, and they were at his home? He doesn't remember and he wondered if there was a drug down here then why was he the only one under the influence and none of the others.

S-Sasuke…anyone…help me…

With that he slowly closes his eyes once more…

Back at the Inn

Sasuke sat on the bed, holding Naruto's necklace, he's been looking at it for thirty minutes now, all he could think about was Naruto and the condition he was in. He couldn't stop thinking about the blond, about the way he's been acting, the way he's been falling into a fever, Sasuke saw all the signs, but why couldn't he have predicted any of this sooner?

"Sasuke-kun" he snapped out of his thoughts as he turned his gaze to Sakura, bright green orbs looking into his dark onyx ones. She could see the sadness and depression in them; Sakura knew how much Sasuke was hurting even though the young Uchia tried his best not to show it. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at Sakura, he didn't have anything to say, his eyes slowly then darted back down to the blue jewel clutched in his hand once more.

"We'll find Naruto as soon as Kakashi Sensei gets back…" she reassured him with a smile, but none of her smiles were going to help Sasuke this time even though he wished they would.

Not only was Naruto's necklace was in his possession, but Naruto's head band was too. He settled it at the bedside cabinet next to the bed; Sasuke took a quick glance over to the headband, seeing the leaf village symbol, their village leaf symbol.

"I passed; I'm an honorary Ninja, Ninja!"

His voice just echoed through the jet haired shinobi's head, when they passed that survival training that Kakashi set up for them. That idiotic smile that was laced on Naruto's lips at the time.

"I'm going to become Hokage, so everyone will respect me and will stop treating me like dirt! It's my dream!"

Dream huh?

Sasuke frowned, lifting himself off the bed, trailing his footsteps towards the door. "Sasuke-kun?" his hand placed around the handle, tugging it down and opening the door walking out of the room, Sakura ran after him. She was wondering what's wrong with Sasuke….

That Dream won't be any good if you're dead Naruto…

"I have this feeling…that…that wasn't the first time Orochimaru caught Naruto…" he didn't know where he got this feeling from but Sasuke knew that there was something strange going on with Naruto and that Kakashi might be the one that has the answers.

"Now hold on a minute Sasuke…" Sasuke wondered to the other room that he knew that Kakashi was occupied in, since he had to do something important.

"Kakashi!" Sasuke yelled, almost taking the door to his teacher's room from its own hinges. The Jounin looked over to the intruding student while making a tired sigh; he was reading his orange book once again. "Now Sasuke was that really necessary?" Sasuke stormed into the room. "How can you just sit there when Naruto's in danger!" he snapped.

Kakashi frowned "Sasuke!" Sasuke stared at his teacher for a moment until he finally calmed down. "If you are going to say something Sasuke? Say it?" Sasuke took a deep breath, about to ask his question, to see if his suspicions about Naruto and Orochimaru true or false?

"That wasn't the only time that Orochimaru kid napped Naruto was it? Kakashi Sensei?"

"Now why would you say that Sasuke?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes at Kakashi, onyx meeting with ebony, remembering some sentences that Kakashi had said before. "Because whenever we were in the Laboratory and our encounter with Orochimaru, you said, 'Not this time' and ' you won't escape', so I assumed that this hasn't been the first time that Orochimaru has kidnapped Naruto before…"

Kakashi closed his book, settling it into his pouch, making another wary sigh. He knew that Sasuke was right; this wasn't the only time that Naruto got caught by the Sannin. "As sharp as always Sasuke, yes this wasn't the first time that Naruto got caught…do you two remember the day that Naruto was in the hospital after he returned with the Fifth Hokage about a week later?" Sasuke and Sakura nodded. They remembered that day, who couldn't? No training for about a week.

"Yeah, we were told that Naruto got sick from all the late night training he did so he had to stay in hospital…" Kakashi narrowed his ebony eyes "That was only a cover story for what really happened…"

Flashback

"Hm…I wonder how Naruto's doing, he's must be pretty exhausted from his travels with Jiraiya…" Kakashi said to himself, he was just released from hospital yesterday because of Tsunade's healing abilities and all thanks to Naruto's help. He felt like he owes the little Shinobi for once.

The rain continued to drizzle down all over the place, it's been raining for a couple of days now, thank goodness that they had a couple of sunny spells in Konoha. When Kakashi walked up the stairs of the dorms that were inside the academy's walls, he began to think of Naruto's usual routine before he goes to sleep "Knowing that Naruto he's probably having a cup of ramen now and…huh?"

He stopped seeing that the door to Naruto's room down the hallway was opened, letting the light shine out into it's dark dreary hallways. Kakashi jumped, he knew that wasn't part of Naruto's routine or the fact that no student that stayed on in the dorms was never to go out at night! Unless there was a mission that is…

And Naruto had no mission…

"Naruto!" Kakashi rushed up to the young boy's door, taking a few cautious steps into the apartment, his eyes widened at the sight that was in front of him, he saw the young Shinobi sprawled out on the floor, his arms spread out at either side, he was covered in many bruises and was bleeding from the forehead. His neck was bright red; Kakashi thought it might've been due to strangulation.

"Naruto! Are you alright?! Naruto!" all he got was a weak moan for a reply. Kakashi walked over to his pupil and scooped him up in his arms. Naruto opens his eyes a bit and muttered

"Orochimaru was here…"

End Flashback

"He went to Naruto's apartment?!" Sakura was shocked when she heard it, Kakashi nodded. "How did he even get into the dorms, better yet how did he get into the village?" Sasuke asked, Kakashi shock his head

"He's one of the legendary Sannin; he knows all the secret entrances which lead into the village, when he was still a boy he used those entrances to go out and train without anyone noticing, well that's what the Fifth Hokage said anyways…"

Sasuke couldn't believe how easy it was for the monster to sneak into the village undetected and how easy Orochimaru could catch Naruto but there was a slight problem "But Orochimaru didn't take Naruto by then, why?" Kakashi shock his head once more "Orochimaru did what he intended to do; he injected a weird type of serum into Naruto's system, probably to test it to see if it could work…"

"But why did he go after Naruto in the first place?" Kakashi thought that Orochimaru was after the Nine tailed fox, but all that stuff is confidential and that no one except him and the other higher ranking Ninja, including the Fifth Hokage knew about it, but Sasuke and Sakura are not meant to know, even though that they are his team mates, he can't risk them in finding out.

"We didn't know…"

Flashback

(Youkai Of Hearts: Forgive me, I just had to get a few things settled!!)

"Orochimaru? How did he even get close to Naruto!?" Iruka snapped, they were all in the Fifth Hokage's office, Naruto's weak body was placed over to the sofa, a blanket covering his limp form, his eyes closed, Naruto was sleeping soundly for now.

Tsunade kneeled down to Naruto's side, "His wounds should have healed by now…" placing a hand on his forehead where the blood was dripping, a green aura surrounded her hand as the wound on his head slowly healed. She narrowed her brown orbs on a mark that was on Naruto's left arm, a little bit of his blood was trickling down it.

"He must've been injected with something that takes effect on his ability to heal…or what ever that monster did to him…" Kakashi nodded. He was relieved that Naruto was alive, if the kid was dead then he'd be real torn up that he lost someone else he cared for. "I'm just relieved that he's safe…" Tsunade still seemed to be a bit troubled, she stood up as she walked over to her desk and lifted up a black brush, dipping it in black paint, scribbling it unto her hand, a symbol that Kakashi had never seen before in his life.

"What are you planning on doing?" Iruka asked. Tsunade didn't answer, she walked back to Naruto's side, placing a hand firmly on his forehead but she held unto the boys arm just in case he made any sudden reactions or tried to resist. "Fifth Hokage?"

A type of green chakra circulated her hand, Naruto flinched as he shrieked a bit, trying to struggle but Tsunade kept her grip on him, no matter how much he could struggle, Naruto couldn't match Tsunade even when he's in this state. "I'm sorry Naruto…" she whispered.

"What are you doing!" Iruka yelled as he was about to walk over and stop her, but Kakashi stopped him by holding unto his fellow ninja's shoulders. "Kakashi" "I'm sure the Fifth Hokage knows what she's doing Iruka, just trust her…"

Naruto let out another yelp, like he was going to lose control or something even more dangerous. Not matter how much he tried, Tsunade wasn't going to stop. "Just hold on a little longer…" then it all stopped, just like that a couple of minutes of pain and it all stopped when Tsunade was finished.

"B-Baa-chan…" Naruto whispered, she narrowed her eyes in sympathy as she wrapped her arms around the boy and held him close to her. "It's okay…it's all over…" she darted her eyes over to Shizune, immediately Shizune knew what the Fifth Hokage wanted and she nodded, walking over and lifted Naruto into her arms, carrying the young ninja out of the room, it was only when the door was closed did questions begin to fly…

"What did you just do to Naruto?" asked Kakashi in a calm voice. Tsunade stood up looking at the two men, about to explain the situation. "What I am about to say now does not leave this room…" the two Shinobi nodded in unison. "What I have done there now was a forbidden Jutsu that is only used on special occasions such as this one, since Orochimaru seemed to have done something to Naruto; I've decided that it would be best to block the incident from his memory…" Iruka looked at her shocked.

"But isn't that a bit unfair to Naruto…" Tsunade nodded "Might be, but if Naruto found out that he was caught by Orochimaru then it would haunt him for life and who knows what he would do…you don't want Naruto to suffer do you Iruka sensei?" Iruka looked down and nodded, he didn't want Naruto to do anything that would threaten his own life and Iruka cared about his student very much.

"Plus if people find out that Orochimaru was within these walls then it would cause another panic…, I know it's hard but for now, we'll say that Naruto fainted from exhaustion from training too much since we came back and also keep him in the hospital for a week…hopefully by the end of that week then Naruto would be back to normal by then…okay…"

And then…

To Be Continued!
